The Desoto Arts Council continues to work with all phases of Community Cultural Development for our artistic and cultural future.

The vision of The Desoto Arts Council Community Art and Cultural Development Plan:

• Lead communities into new expressions of the arts
• Provide opportunities for artistic experiences
• Enhance cities through the arts
• Develop public interest in the arts through events
• Involve families in cultural events
• Establish forums to further develop culture and the arts
• Assist with city design
• Help establish art groups
• Nurture our valuable resources of talent
• Enhance economic development and tourism

Through partnership and cooperation of local artists, businesses, and the public, the Desoto Arts Council is in the planning stages of developing a Cultural Arts Center to meet the creative needs of our community. The center will affect economic development, education, business, heritage, and community pride.
